Zohran Kwame Mamdani is a Ugandan-born immigrant of Indian descent, raised Shia Muslim in an interfaith household in Morningside Heights. The novelty of his origins has broad appeal. As Zenat Begum, Brooklynite and founder of Bed-Stuy's coffeehouse and community space Playground, put it, "He is a walking concoction of every New Yorker in one person." Still, one trait is all too familiar in this city's political imagination-his Muslimness.

John F Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg has said he will run for the US House next year, announcing Tuesday that he was seeking a key New York seat set to be vacated by longtime Democrat Jerry Nadler. This district should have a representative who can harness the creativity, energy and drive of this district and translate that into political power in Washington, Schlossberg said in a campaign video posted on social media late Tuesday.

There are days where I'm in pain [doing] that walking, plus packages will be that much rougher for me, you know, to walk that extra two or three blocks,

Mamdani's run was barely a blip then, but Califano sensed the swell of something shifting. He asked Mamdani's communications director if he could follow the campaign behind the scenes (and on his own dime) for a long-term documentary project. They said yes, and over the next nine months, Califano embedded himself within Zohran's team, photographing everything from union rallies to neighborhood canvassers to Ramadan iftars among aunties. He burned through more than 100 rolls of film in the process.

Beginning Nov. 13 on the Q6, Bx20, Bx3 and Bx7 bus routes, vehicles improperly using busways and bus lanes, blocking bus stops or illegally double parked will be fined.

A 32-year-old man was arrested for crashing a stolen FedEx truck and attempting to steal an ambulance. It all happened on Sunday, just after 2 p.m. Police responded to a call of a FedEx truck that was stolen at 606 Carroll St. Domanique Bullock is accused of getting in a parked FedEx and pushing the 25-year-old driver out of the truck before fleeing in the vehicle.

A major decision facing Mayor-elect Mamdani will be to select a new Department of Transportation Commissioner. The scope of the assignment is vast as is its impact. Transportation is an issue confronted by every New Yorker, every day - and we are all experts. Every Mayor since Mike Bloomberg has been engaged in the mission to reimagine how we move people to reduce our dependence on private cars and to focus instead on public transit, bikes and walking, and under Mayor de Blasio, a similar effort began to reimagine how we move freight - both to and within the city - to reduce our embarrassing over-dependence on large trucks and instead to use our original highways, the waterways, as well as rail and small, environmentally friendly vehicles.

When Zohran Mamdani stunned New York City's political establishment by defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary and winning the mayoral election last week, much of the attention focused on his viral social media presence and charismatic appeal to young voters. But behind the 34-year-old assemblyman's historic victory was a strategic mind who helped reshape how the campaign connected with voters: Zara Rahim, a communications expert who has spent more than a decade at the intersection of politics, culture and digital strategy.

The bigoted vandal, law enforcement sources said, seemed to take extraordinary efforts to conceal their identity wearing all-black clothing, including matching gloves and a long-brimmed fedora that made seeing any distinguishing facial features nearly impossible. Cops confirmed on Monday that the Nov. 5 incident has been classified as a hate crime, with the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force now leading the active investigation into the vandalism and the search for the perpetrator responsible.

Victoria Davis and Victor Dempsey say they have been fighting for justice for their brother, Delrawn Small, for almost a decade. Small was fatally shot on July 4, 2016, in front of his four-month-old son, step-daughter, and girlfriend. Family members say video footage of the incident, taken near the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Bradford Street in East New York on the night in question, shows an off-duty cop acting unhinged in a road rage incident and firing a gunshot out of his window,

In his victory speech after winning the New York mayoral election last week, Zohran Mamdani came out swinging. The speech included, among other dramatic flourishes, a reference to the socialist titan Eugene Debs, shoutouts to the city's Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses, tributes to Jawaharlal Nehru and Fiorello La Guardia, sprinkles of Arabic and it was all delivered with the cadence and command of a hip-hop emcee.

More than 600 pounds of illegal marijuana products are off the streets following an alleged kidnapping in Dyker Heights that led authorities to a basement safe roompacked with narcotics, police said. The discovery was made by officers from the 68th Precinct in coordination with the New York City's Sheriff's Joint Task Force. Photos released by the sheriff's office show what officials estimate to be at least 500 pounds of marijuana flowers and over 100 pounds of THC-infused products recovered from the home.

Rockefeller Center just got its annual jolt of holiday spirit, and several tons of Norway spruce, thanks to the arrival of this year's Christmas tree , freshly hauled in from East Greenbush, New York. The 75-foot titan rolled into midtown on Saturday after a one-and-a-half-day journey that involved a flatbed truck, a police escort and precision road-choreography that's normally reserved for popes and presidents.

Dillon, during the latest episode of The Tim Dillon Show on Saturday, goofed on the 34-year-old democratic socialist for calling out President Donald Trump during his speech, shortly after he was elected the next NYC mayor on Tuesday night. He was a little cringe in his speech, because he's like a theater kid, Dillon said. Dillon continued: It was just a moment when you could see the theater kid in him.

The name is Mamdani: M.A.M.D.A.N.I. When Zohran Mamdani corrected Andrew Cuomo for mispronouncing his name at the New York City mayoral debate, it was immediately turned into a viral TikTok sound: remixed with Gwen Stefani's " Hollaback Girl." The sound has been featured in user-generated content surpassing 100 million views on TikTok. Remarkably, Mamdani was polling at 1% a year ago, and few New Yorkers recognized him. By the end of the campaign, Zohan Mamdani had mobilized a grassroots movement of 100,000 volunteers.

Deep in the soul of every food lover is the desire to be in New York City at any given moment. Few cities around the world offer what New York provides in terms of food. There's cuisine from every corner of the globe, from Moroccan and Malagasy to Japanese and Javanese. However, one cuisine stands front and center as the apple of the Big Apple's eye: Italian.
